Midweek outfit–The new leather skirt

Pin It Now!

I wore:
Cropped animal print top from FELT
Faux Leather Skirt by Alice in the Eve from General Pants Co.
Biker boots by Dolce Vita, thrifted
Necklace from Collette

Leather once stood for hard, shiny and ultra-sexy, and was altogether unfeminine. The ‘leather skirt’ used to come in just one accepted shape – straight tight and tube. And I wouldn’t have been caught dead in one, not with my full thighed figure. But no more! Recently it’s just as common for leather to be draped as fitted. This faux leather skirt from General Pants Co. was love at first sight, confirming to me once again why I to shop at General Pants. I love that it falls and moves, despite the leather look. I couldn’t think of anything better to wear with it than my recently acquired second hand two sizes too large biker boots – but then again, I seem to wear those with everything now!

Monday nail stuff: Iridescent spring flower nails!

Pin It Now!

While it’s well into Autumn here in Australia, I feel it’s so easy pretend it’s spring, when the rest of the world is enjoying the warmer seasons. Nothing says spring to me more than pink Sakura blossoms. This week I decided to sport a simple spring flower nail design, with flower Fimo slices haphazardly placed as if they had floated there in the breeze…ah…I wish it were spring!!

I used Orly nail lacquer in Berry Blast, and pink flower Fimo slices from http://pinksakura.com.au/! Pink Sakura also sent me super cute strawberry and teddy bear slices! Fimo slices fascinate me the same way as pulled rock candy. How in the world do they get those tiny intricate designs in there? Especially the strawberries!

Pink Sakura is a new Australian based Asian cosmetics retailer on the scene, specialising in GEO Medical contact lenses – stock including the popular Bambi Princess Mimi series – yay – and Asian cosmetics, with mostly Korean brands like Etude House, Tony Moly and Holika Holika! They also sell nail art supplies and Kawaii Items!
